Field Notes

Description:

First 2 pics were taken with a pocket camera, the others with my GH2 after changing the lens as it came very close. It seems to be extremely tame as it inhabits the lookout platform at the upper gate, where people feed it. Even poked it's head inside my lens hood when I tried to photograph it.

Habitat:

Tropical Montane rainforest @c 2000m alt.
